I’m raising money in support of Bladder Cancer Canada by participating in Canada Walks for Bladder Cancer.

Canada Walks for Bladder Cancer is a national walk, with participants from across Canada uniting to increase awareness and raise funds to support Bladder Cancer Canada.

Bladder cancer is one of the most expensive cancers to treat, with a high recurrence rate it receives very little research funding. This year, another 12,500 Canadians will be diagnosed, adding to the 80,000+ survivors.

My mother Johanna and I are both Bladder Cancer Survivors. We feel fortunate to be healthy and happy. We both must be checked periodically to ensure the cancer has not returned. The checkup procedure is costly and uses a great deal of hospital and health care resources. It is my hope that one day my mother and I wont have to use all these resources and Bladder Cancer is just a memory and perhaps those resources can be allocated to others who need it more.

Please donate today and support my fundraising efforts. Consider joining Canada Walks for Bladder Cancer.  Please join our walk on September 24th at 10am at Deer Lake Park. Please arrive early to register and enjoy refreshments.
